Geographers get engaged

They will be giving workshops on Wednesday, February 13, as part of Lessons from the Field, a day-long series of workshops focussed on practices of public engagement.
Trevor is partnering with Bruce Gilbert to discuss "Responding to community-identified needs" in the second session (11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.). They will cover topics including identifying mutually beneficial goals, setting out workplans collaboratively, and managing expectations.
